Mountain Stampscapes

I stamped these mountains on some cardstock as a prop for a song I was singing to my grandkids. Later on I found Kevin Nakagawa's YouTube Tutorial and was able to make it into a card.

My scene is very basic! I liked how Kevin used a torn paper towel as a mask, to soften the edges when stamping. Kevin stamped on a photograph of clouds which he shared on that YouTube page. I used plain cardstock, because that's where I stamped the mountains. Maybe I will try stamping on a cloud photo sometime. I would also like to try Kevin's method of adding colored marker to the stamp to add a touch of color to the images. His tutorial has a lot of good information!

Usually when using Stampscapes stamps I stamp everything in black first. This time I only used black ink (distress black soot) on the church. The mountains were stamped in distress hickory smoke. The hills and trees were stamped in pine needles.

I used blending brushes to add color to the mountains, church and trees and pathway.

Stamps:

Inks:

Stampin' Up!: going grey

Distress: chipped sapphire, faded jeans, shaded lilac, pine needles, scattered straw, wild honey, gathered twigs

Versafine: Onyx Black for the sentiments.

Here is a similar scene, where I substituted Kevin's Lakeside Cabin 147F for the Curvilinear Road and Church stamps.  I used distress hickory smoke to stamp the main images-mountains and scene. Then I used pine needles to stamp over the grey trees above the water. I sponged the cabin with distress wild honey and used hickory smoke to sponge all around the edges of the layer.

Thank you for visiting!

Hoping you all stay healthy during this Covid pandemic.

Love and hugs and prayers.
